Samsung cd BS!!

so today i was going to reinstall some software when I notioced that my CD Drive had decided to uninstall its self. it's in there, connected and so on. it shows up in CMOS but no cdromin' happening in windows98 found the driver disk from samsung, it just hangs the os or tells me that I have no device relivant info. its a 52X BG46-30001J even samsung doesn't have drivers for it. I hate this pile, something is always busted and it's only 4 months old...
